Synapse Films Bringing Dario Argento's Giallo Masterpiece 'TENEBRAE' To 4K UHD In September
The fine fiends over at Synapse Films know you love your Giallo horror and so do we so they have been working on something all Dario Argento fans have been clamoring for, a new 4K UHD transfer of ‘TENEBRAE’ in September.
T’enebrae’ will hit shelves on September 26th, 2023.
Italian horror master Dario Argento elevates the giallo genre to new heights with 1982’s Tenebrae, a darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder-mystery that many consider to be one of his finest works. Now, Synapse Films, in conjunction with Arrow Video, makes this gory suspense classic available in a new 4K restoration.
Here’s the films plot synopsis for ya in case you forgot.
American mystery author Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa, Death Wish II) comes to Rome to promote his newest novel, Tenebrae. A razor-wielding psychopath is on the loose, taunting Neal and murdering those around him in gruesome fashion just like the character in his novel. As the mystery surrounding the killings spirals out of control, Neal investigates the crimes on his own, leading to a mind-bending, genre-twisting conclusion that will leave you breathless!
Co-starring John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Daria Nicolodi (Phenomena), John Steiner (Caligula) and featuring beautiful cinematography by Luciano Tovoli (Suspiria), this stunning all-new 4K restoration includes hours of extras and a bonus Blu-ray!
